Following yesterday's leak of embargoed press materials, Dark Horse has released official word of their Moebius reprint plans, with confirmation that it's being done in conjunction with Isabelle Giraud, Moebius's widow. DH had previously reprinted some of the materials, so doubtless this prior prelationship helped get this much sought after license.

After years of releasing their digital comics via through their own app, Dark Horse has finally announced that all their comics will be available on Comixology, as well as four other platforms, including Kindle, Google Play, iBooks, and the Nook. It's an expansive expansion and marks a very smart move for Dark Horse: there is really no upside to limiting digital distribution these days, and the multi=platform war was won long ago. All releases will be released simultaneously in print and digital. In June Dark Horse made its graphic novel line-up available via Comxiology and according to publisher Mike Richardson, “the sales have been incredible.”

Among comics reprints there are few holy grails left. We've finally got Miracleman (and no one cares) we're getting Master of Kung Fu, and now, perhaps the last great library. Via Dark Horse media partner Bleeding Cool comes word that DH has gained the rights to put out a "lavish series of hardcover volumes" reprinting "the library of Mœbius." Terse but cherce. One imagines it will be similar to the Milo Manara library being reprinted currently.

This news had been floating round for a little bit, but Dark Horse it making it official: Dave Marshall is replacing Scott Allie as edit in chief. Allie will remain as executive senior editor. Several other assistant editor have been added as you can read below.

Peter Bagge is prolific and hilarious, a very good combination in a cartoonist. He's been running short one page historical comic strips in recent issues of Dark Horse Presents and his own series Apocalypse Nerd, and these will be collected in the one shot Founding Fathers Funnies. Bagge is all over the humor of the great people who founded our great nation, and i'm sure it goes beyond cherry trees, kites and wooden false teeth.

Evan Dorkin brings the tale of four mean-spirited, socially-incapable, pop-culture-obsessives to an end.

The cover to The Paybacks (left), a new Dark Horse series by writers Donny Cates and Eliot Rahal and artist Geoff Shaw bears a striking resemblance to JG Jones' covers for Wonder Woman: The Hiketeia, written by Greg Rucka (right). Doncha think?

England is gone, replaced by a new World Tree, promising to end this world and replace it with something new. Hellboy speaks with a spirit that may be his friend Alice, but who also appears to be something more. She delivers a prophecy of doom and beauty to Hellboy, who awakens, and finds himself in Hell once more. And then things start to get weird.

Dark Horse wants to put your senses to the test. Fans of Chuck Palahniuk's Fight Club 2 will have the chance to win some signed rare comic books, collector's edition novel and the collected hardcover graphic...

Things start off looking grim. A chubby writer tries to write his suicide note, but is prevented by writer’s block. He longs to connect with the world around him, but is locked away behind walls of shyness. But around page 4, things take a turn.
